Lovely location ,very peaceful and pretty. Nice walks. But it’s not a secure site at all as dogs can get out and others peoples can get in under the fences. Beds lovely, fresh and comfy, shower nice and plenty of hot water .

The Railway Carriage is a great place to stay, loved all the fittings in keeping with its original use. We especially liked the art deco light fittings. It was comfortable inside with everything we needed for our stay. Very peaceful location with lots of wildlife to spot. The dogs really enjoyed the huge enclosed paddock to run around in (note small dogs might need to be watched as they would get out under the fence bars). Also fabulous that there are off lead walks directly from the gate. Lots to do nearby, including sandy beaches that allow dogs all year which are just a short drive away. Added to our list of places to return to.
